I’m well familiar with the issues of accessibility, and I use the words “minor” and “spurious” deliberately. Most especially, when I say “spurious”, I mean false positives.
I have yet to see a false positive. It might appear that way to someone only testing on a single platform, a single browser and a single reader, macOS + Chrome + VoiceOver for some reason being the usual combo even though VO doesn’t work right with Chrome.
Typically devs will also ignore reader shortcuts and instead use tab navigation, which is not how screen reader users do things because it bypasses screen reader navigation altogether.
Do you know for a fact that the ”false” positives weren’t actual problems for someone using NVDA or JAWS shortcuts to navigate on Firefox on Windows, or some other combination of reader + navigation + browser + OS?
Everything is broken and nobody can test or fix everything.
